Question:

5-htp alone didnt get it done for me. Celexa at higher dosages is better but the sexual side effects are pretty bad. And at several dollars each, Celexa is expensive.  What about low does celexa & 5-htp ?

Response:

Thank you for bringing up the 5-HTP subject… From Psychosomatic Medicine Journal, September 1999: "5-HTP is commercially produced by extraction from the seeds of an African plant, Griffonia simplicifolia, and this extract is available in the United States. Antidepressant effects seem to be more consistent with 5-HTP than with tryptophan." "Although the same potential may exist for 5-HTP to interact with SSRIs, in many studies, they have been successfully combined to enhance the therapeutic effect." >  What about low does celexa & 5-htp ?

I think electric shocks are nothing close to it – everyone has those with dose fluctuations even – SS is VERY serious, often fatal: http://members.aol.com/atracyphd/syndrome.htm Squiggles
